LIVE ANIMALS
We bring live animals to you !
We connect people to the environment by teaching about the other creatures that share our space. We hope that by connecting with our ambassadors and learning their personal stories, audience members will understand the importance of conservation.
*Please note, we do NOT allow touching of any of our ambassadors for their safety and for yours. It also sends the wrong message (especially to children) to allow "petting" of our ambassadors. Our goal is to teach respect of wildlife and wild places.
